In a recent Fox News appearance, former Trump Administration propagandist Stephen Miller dispensed advice on how men can attract women by supporting Trump and being manly.

Host Jesse Watters – who consistently attacks the masculinity of Democratic men when they do basic things like use straws – claimed on air that texts from the audience were pouring in praising Miller’s appearance.

“Our audience believes you are some sort of sexual matador,” Watters said.

Miller replied, “Let me give advice to any young man that’s out there… I wasn’t married that long ago. I was single. I was on the market. If you are a young man – it’s very important in an election season – who’s looking to impress ladies, to be the alpha, to be attractive. The best thing you can do is to wear your Trump support on your sleeve. Show that you are a real man. Show that you are not a beta. Be a proud and loud Trump supporter, and your dating life will be fantastic.”

Stephen Miller, Trump’s former White House senior advisor, currently runs America First Legal (AFL).

As Mother Jones writer Isabela Dias explained, “AFL targets so-called ‘woke’ corporate and government programs, alleging employment discrimination against white, heterosexual men. It has challenged Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in higher education and supposed ‘radical transgender ideology‘ in school districts.”

“Typically, after filing a suit or complaint, Miller makes the rounds of the right-wing media circuit and fundraises off the attention. ‘Bogus suits,’ securities law expert Benjamin Edwards explained in the Daily Beast, seem designed for a nonlegal goal: to issue ‘press releases’ so AFL can ‘recruit more donors.’ Miller’s group has reportedly spent more on ads than legal services.”

Fox host Watters is known for his obsession with masculinity.

In August, he criticized Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz for the way he waves, saying, “Men should not move this way. It’s not the way we move,” before accusing him of having a crush on Kamala Harris’s husband, Doug Emhoff.

He has also attacked Walz for using a straw, something he has had a fixation with for a while. Last November, he said that President Joe Biden isn’t manly because he drank a milkshake with a straw.

“Some things we just can’t let slide,” Watters said at the time. “Joe Biden used a straw.”

“I recommend that all men refrain from using straws,” he continued. “It’s unbecoming, the way a man’s lips purse, the size of the straws is too dainty, the way your fingers clasp on it, no, come on.”

In February, Watters attacked Biden for eating ice cream, saying it’s “just not a good look.”

Folks on X had a field day with the exchange between Miller and Watters.
